Currently, The Cosmic House is showcasing 'This Ridge,' an exhibition featuring the works of Gabriela Leu, Raluca Pavelescu, and Adrian Buda. This exhibition offers a profound exploration of history, identity, and otherness, using Romania as the focal point of this story. Rather than focusing on the traditional, heroic narratives of history, 'This Ridge' dives into the more intricate and often overlooked aspects—traditions, struggles, and the relationships between different social groups that have coexisted on the same land. The artists each bring their personal connection to this past, unraveling themes of cohabitation and the challenges of national homogeneity. The exhibition touches on sensitive yet essential subjects, such as the history of Roma slavery, and delves into how traditions serve both as a means of preserving identity and a space where different identities merge and evolve. 'This Ridge' invites viewers to reflect on how shared histories, both painful and celebratory, continue to shape our modern-day perceptions of identity and otherness, questioning how prejudices were formed and how traditions influence our collective worldview. It’s a thought-provoking narrative that offers fresh perspectives on historical cohabitation and identity.
